Linebreak in Label,Text XAML not displayed in App

[Kaibaer]

Description

In order to put in content on an About page, I want to use line breaks. However, when using an <Label.Text>, the line breaks do not show up as actually shown in the documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/maui/user-interface/controls/label?view=net-maui-8.0)
The text is concatenated in the same line until the space for the line is filled out.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a page
2. Add <Label.Text> and add lines of text.

Hey @Kaibaer!

I checked out your about page branch and seems to work all fine here on Android. You specified this also happens on Android, right?

Didn't check Windows, but all other platforms seem to work so I kinda expect it to work on Windows as well.

The one thing I needed to change is that you both specify the FormattedText and the regular Text property. One will override the other. The weird indentation in because the Text value is indented because of the source code indentation. Otherwise, the line breaks seem to work fine.

If you still see this behavior, can you provide some more clarity and details on where you're seeing it exactly?

[Kaibaer]

I found out it actually happens as soon as you edit the XAML page while having the emulator open to have a visual indication.
If you add another line there, it stays in the same line as the last line.

So, upon start it looks okay and takes the linebreak.

However, as your screenshot @jfversluis and @ninachen03 show, the text indentation is a topic. Is there a way to deactivate the identation? It also seems to ignore indentation for the first sentence, which also has the same indents as the other lines.

However, as your screenshot @jfversluis and @ninachen03 show, the text indentation is a topic.

Unfortunately it's not a topic. The space is there in the text so it's shown that way, if you don't want to do it like that use the new line characters for XAML or bind your text through a view model or provide it through resources. There is not much we can change about that.

OK so what you are describing is Hot Reload, unfortunately that is on the tooling side and should be reported in a different way. I will close this one and add a tag that will provide you with the necessary information on how to do that.
